Kolomenskaya (Metro)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kolomenskaya (Коломенская) is a station on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. It is named for its location near Kolomenskoye, which became part of Moscow shortly before the station opened in 1969. Kolomenskaya was built according to the standard pillar-trispan design, though with octagonal white marble columns in place of the usual square pillars. The tiled walls are decorated with patriotically-themed copper plaques by E.M. Ladygin. The architects of the station were L.A. Shagurina and V.A. Cheremin.
Between Kolomenskaya and Avtozavodskaya, the Zamoskvoretskaya Line runs in an open cut and crosses the Moskva River on the Nagatinsky Metrobridge.
